Rumour: New Prince Of Persia Game Reportedly Arriving "Later This Year"

Well, if it plays like Lost Crown, I’m okay with that!

It is funny how the remake was obviously supposed to be a starting point to bring back interest in the series, but instead will be the last thing released.

I mean, tbh, I vastly prefer them just bothering to make new games instead of being like "hey if you buy this same game you own but with better graphics MAYBE you'll get a new game, wink wink". I don't want to regularly buy games I already own just to prove I want new games.

@Shepdawg1 exactly what I was going to say. It doesn't even make me irritated to die in that game because it feels so incredible to play.

Now this I can get behind, I just want one thing for the game, please let us play as the <persian> prince, rather than american citizen like the latest game.

Cool! After Sargon’s fantastic debut, I am ready to save more Princes!

I liked The Lost Crown quite a bit and I am glad ubisoft has been going old school lately by bringing PoP back and also Assassin's Creed actually being an Assassin's Creed game for a change. Unfortunately I don't do rogue like lite rogue whatever anymore. It's just too much of a time waster.

That being said on the subject of bringing back old school ubisoft, where's my boy Rayman? Where's my ultimate Rayman 2 on the switch?

Ubisoft doing what they're good at. One good game isn't enough, they're immediately milking it to death, and making 3 of them.
Same thing I thought with all the new TMNT games. Really hope I'm wrong.

Can they not just give us a HD collection of the Gamecube-era titles instead of all these spin-offs.

Wow, how did they get them to make a new game instead of slapping more DLC to Dead Cells? In all seriousness, this could be good.

No freaking way. To think that my favorite childhood game series is coming together with one of my most beloved types of indie games is insane. Not to mention the fact a roguelike Prince Of Persia in itself is absolutely nuts, haha. I'm having a bit of a hard time believing this, because it sounds like such an unusual move. Reviving an old series, turning it into a roguelike and an AAA developer hiring an indie developer for the job? Like, i would understand if they did a roguelike spin-off of one of their series that has more momentum.

But hey, i can see this being part of like an overall bigger plan with The Lost Crown laying the foundation for recognition and thus later interest in following games. If Prince Of Persia never receives another AAA game but instead gets restricted to more niche experiences...i'm okay with that i think? I mean i don't need another franchise where i have to find towers to reveal areas of a map and do 3950239062 sidequests and have just as many pop ups about microtransactions, so why not? More focused games sound like a good thing, especially for a franchise that is so near and dear to my heart!

@Yalloo My thoughts exactly. Ubisoft milk everything for what it's worth. I love Dead Cells, but this game will be a hard pass for me, just like any other Ubisoft game at this point, really. They disappointed more than enough times by now.

@Rob3008 They did that already. PS360 game. Would be cool if 2008 got ported though.

@wiiware He wasn't an American citizen 🤣💀

@FishyS There are many people making distinctions between roguelikes and roguelites, the latter having a meta game progression, just like Dead Cells did.

Could be good, Lost Crown has been great so far. I ask for this with a lot of franchises but a POP collection would be nice (Sands of Time stuff plus the old games and the PS3,PSP and Wii Sands sequels). Probably never happen.

Could be good tbh. People were hating on Lost Crown when it was first revealed but then it was one of the best games of 2024.

Love Dead Cells. Recently picked it up and the older DLC on my phone since all of it was still cheaper than the on sale price of the base game with the gross Switch Tax.

Can't say I like the Prince enough to be excited for this but i will see how it looks.

More lost crown, please. that game is 10/10!

Huh, well Dead Cells and Lost Crown have been 2 of my fave games I've played recently, so this sounds promising if it is true. I'll believe it when I see though of course!

ofc, but ofc, lmao. Ubisoft realized more than enough people were dumb to buy it at full price before the price dropped a month later. who knows maybe we will see a new prince of persia every year for the next 10 years... lol

@TCKuma I don't think persian people has twitter haircut the same style as spider-man 2 miles morales back then.

Please do not ruin the Prince of Persia series by turning it into garbage through making it rogue-like or roguelite or any other rogue-whatever. That approach to "rogue"-ize it will just push even more players away because of its pointlessness and unappealing aspects.

@wiiware That's the most nothing argument ever. The game is good. Get over it.

@TCKuma Sure, most people says it's good, it's just that I don't care about the game, and looking at the sales, most people too. I think that's because the gameplay is good but the graphics are generic, the art design is mobile-like, and the price is too high for a basically a 2D indie-like game.
